I have a question similar to an earlier thread....
I am not solicitating, but would love some feedback..

We are a lesbian couple. I am white and my partner is african american. We are hoping adopt a biracial, or african american child. Our agency suggested that we ask birth mother's how they feel about this dynamic in a family and do you think it will be hard for us to find a birth mother that will accept inter racial and lesbian. We want an open adoption as well and wanted birth mothers who have adopted openly and hear how it went?

Thanks so much for listening! ANy feedback would be great!

I would guess some concerns that people would have would be thinking about that it can be tough to grow up an adopted child, or with lesbian parents, or in an interracial family by themselves.

Personally, I would go by who potential adoptive parents are and those things aren't things that would phase me.

I wish you all the best on your search!

When I was looking at prifiles, the agancy asked me about same sex couples. I was open to any parents who would give my baby a good home. Race and sexual orientation have nothing to do with someone's ability to parent. Many heterosexual, one race couples have certainly screwed up parenting MANY times. Sometimes when you are an oddity and under more scrutiny you naturally try harder to do the right things and prove everyone wrong. I wish you the best!
